An Open Reminder To The Human Population,

Picture it! Feel it! Remember it! Love it! And let it be! You probably are wondering what I am referring to when I say “it”.

Picture the glow of the good in this world. Picture yourself years from now, side by side with your blooming “tiny” family. Picture the glimmer of life on your child’s smiling face. Picture your grandmothers smile. Picture a successful new year. Picture the days you just can’t stop smiling. Picture the joy of other people, and share their joy. Picture a new you. Picture the blossom of a new day, and realize you are worthy. Capture those moments in your heart and hold on to them.

Feel the love children have for one another. Feel someone else’s happiness, and work on feeling happy with them! Feel everything fall apart and come back together more complete than they ever were before. Feel empathy. Feel sadness because without a day or two of sadness, it’s impossible to truly embrace the feeling of happiness. Feel the beat in your chest when you wake up every morning and recognize that its more than just a thud, thud, thud… it's purpose.

Remember to remind yourself that despite the puzzling and complex feeling of being broken, you are not broken, you're just getting ready to bloom because all seeds must crack before growing in a strong force of nature. Remember to always bloom with grace, wisdom, and kindness.

Remember to jump mountains for people, even if they don’t do the same for you. Remember who you were before anyone ever shattered your heart and blew it away like an inconvenient piece of dust that once was attached to them.

Remember who you were before the world told you who to be. Love the chaos. Love the mistakes. Love new chapters in life. Love those who did you wrong because they are most likely waking up each morning feeling like thorns are clutching their heart and bricks are grounding their feet.

Let the wind sweep you off your feet and take you on the correct path. Let other people love you. Let you love yourself. Let moments just be moments. Let time fly by. Let yourself realize nothing is here to stay forever. Let your heart hurt and then heal. Let your mind overthink. Let life be because you are just along for the ride.

Let your life hit the point where you can look back and watch how everything that happened make perfect sense. Why do all this stuff? Because I believe in you. I love you. And I know you will succeed at all you do. Remember success comes in all forms.

You got this. Seize life’s moments!

XOXO,

Your fellow Earthmate

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
